I want to build more than I want to disassemble, but maybe I should check out the BBQ people's meetup.

The primary focus is on RE, of course, but the folks there are generally curious, and a large minority of the talks are about forward engineering.

I gave a talk on work I had done with the Signal Foundation on building a binary->binary rewriting tool to secure their Intel SGX1 enclaves against the various Spectre and LVI vulnerabilities.

Have you looked into a local makerspace (e.g. Maker Nexus)?

    Yes, a lot. Does Maker Nexus run meetups other than their board game night?

    The now-defunct maker space I used to visit inherited a former general manager from Maker Nexus, he was very... apathetic about tech in general.

      My understanding is that they run quite a few meetups [1].

      I am not sure what you mean by "apathetic about tech in general" but my experience has been that folks who go to makerspaces are excited about making things in the physical world. That tends to carry over to tech that empowers them to do so (e.g. 3d printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, ...).

      Your mileage may vary.
